Description
AS CITIES GO, NEWPORT NEWS IS A BABY, having come into being in 1896 - and, at that point, only the area we now know as downtown - and ballooning to its present size 50 years ago, July 1, 1958. But as a place with a defined history, it goes back just about as far as English-speaking people have walked this part of the world. In the "General History of Virginia," edited by Capt. John Smith, this reference jumps out: "November 22, 1621, arrived Master Gookin out of Ireland, with fifty men of his own, and thirty passengers exceedingly well furnished with all sorts of provisions and cattle, and planted himself at Newports Newes."
